It was an absolute thrilling end to another version of the “Hallway Series”, as the Lakers (25-28) were bested by the LA Clippers, 111-110. The two teams traded six scores in the final minute of the game and after a Reggie Jackson layup with four seconds remaining, Anthony Davis dribbled up the court and was inches away from the buzzer beating floater.
Tightly contested for much of the first half, the Clippers turned their game up in the third quarter and led by as many as 17 with four minutes left in the third period. A small Lakers run would cut the deficit down to 12 at the end of the third.
